This doctor should clearly explain to a patient what he is doing before or during a test, the secondary effects of the drugs administered in the office before he rush to put them in the patient's eye. His secretary attitude is not a professional one. Not recommended.

Excellent doctor. My mom was referred to Dr. El Achkar by her general doctor. She was a bit scared because she didn't know what to expect. She keep hearing different stories from her friend. She put her trust in Dr. El Achkar and every thing went extremely well. First eye we got to santa Cabrini at seven at eight they brought her up and by nine she was done. He visted her the same day and by noon we were home. This doctor is every kind knowlegable and know what he's doing. He is very polite when he talks and will answer all your concerns. My mom felt very secure in his hands. Second eye was done a month later and all went well. Thank you very much.
